wow..I didn't know D'angelo got this Roberta Flack. I'm just hearing this original version for the first time in 2010 and I'm speechless! I can just imagine how it was perceived back when it first dropped.
Heard this several times on The Wave,Smooth Jazz radio station.Did not realize it was Roberta Flack,until I checked on Google by typing the lyrics.Nice song.
This song!!! I remember back in '74, I believe, this beautiful white chick ( she looked like the young Mary Hart) trained me to take over a job she was vacating because she was moving away. At some point ,she let me know that she would like to have sex with me. I took her up on it. The first time we made love at her place this song was playing on a radio in her bedroom!! I thought it was ironic! She eventually moved away.No one ever knew about us! This song brings back great memories!!!!!!!
If anybody is interested John Legend sings this in his live version of PDA. It's more uptempo. Just search "John legend live in Philadelphia PDA". He incorpartes this song with it.
Hit #1 soul, and #1 pop. BeigeFunk, why so formal? Don't you ever say, 'gonna'? It's perfectly acceptable. No need to be so prim and proper. God bless!
Memories.. this is certainly music from back in the day...this music wil live on and on for ever..not like the crap today..everyone partied and hung out together no matter what race or color we all looked out for each other..I wish we could turn back the hands of time if only for one night...I am happy Ito have been part of the 60's & 70's..there will never ever be music like this again.. So we need to cherish and think of all the great times we had!
Damn D'Angelo KNOWS what song he can pick to remake and knows exactly how to put the STANK on it.
i like this original version as well...very breezy like a lot of yall saying.
SIDE NOTE: Did D'Angelo add the horn parts by his own doing!?? i thought it was sampled from the original, but after listening to this, it isn't! Them horns is my favorite part. Goddamn D is the TRUTH.
mis gustos son mios y mi pasion tambien es mia en mis buenas estare con quien estubo en mis malas,, la ignorancia es el mejor factor para la determinacion de un error!!!
This song makes me want to put on my leopard print lingerie and wait for my husband to get home from work. (this song cranking in the background of course) little bit of extra bass ain't ever hurt no-body! I's needs the bass to help muffle out my screams of passion.
"Deuce anda Quarter..." is/means but I guess that your Parents were doing "THEIR THING" and then you were born? GO PARENTS!!! I couldn't think of a better song to make a BABY with!!!
Looove the little guitar riffs in the middle of the chorus and the heavy bassline! I just turned 7 in the summer of `74 but songs like that bring back to my childhood!
i dont know if yall ever saw that show that came on adult swim a while back called lucy:daughter of the devil, there was one episode where the devil was on stage singing this song, my girlfriend instantly knew what song it was and who sung it.
I'm feelin all the love pourin in for this classic..Summer of '74. If you like to hear another version of "Feel Like Making Love" that complements this so well...try Bob James' jazz version , also from the Summer of 74, from his LP, One. What a combo!!!!
What a lovely song this is, been covered by a lot of singers i.e. george benson, have a listen to johnny mathis's version of this song as its just as good i think.
It never fails to bring me back to those days when I was green. This song's staying timeless. Sadly,I feel I'm growing very old.Nothig has left to me but memories of riverbank walk,campus talk
This song made me feel like makin' love even before I know what making love was! It's all in her voice and tone--soft, smooth, slinky-silky, and immeasurably velvety.
gotta agree wid ya there ... there's something about this woman's voice ... even when she's talking, it's effortlessly sultry... I remember singing this to a girlfriend over the phone ... well, the song was prophetic, that's all I can say!
I still have this 45 and no record player to play it on. I agree with an earler post, this song is timeless. Thank you for posting this song on you tube.
This song is the best recording made in 1974.
